Good Effort overall

0-5 on the PP with 11 SOG

Only team that's worse with an advantage, been that way all year. Their power play is even strength. Weird.

like my squad..

Johnny Abruzzo

I liked the way they played until the 5-on-3. Then I knew we were gonna lose. Scoring a fucking goal would help.

83 games, no shutouts.

pjhawks

didn't play poorly but no real great scoring chances. can only think of 2 or 3 real good shots on goal by the boys. power play is awful at the moment.

and the crowd sucked in my opinion. watching the other games the fans are going apeshit most of the time. down 1 with 5 minutes left our fans sitting on their hands.

oh well get them on saturday.

81

why don't they ever have anybody standing in front of the next on the power play or even when it's 5 on 5. too much shit on the outside. get down and dirty. give me a stick and skates, i'll go tip some fuckin pucks. fuck.

Hartnell should be used for that role

Knuble was great down low

Hartnell, JVR, fuckin put Bouch down there. i don't care who, but somebody has to do it.

whatever....this season is shot.

Phantom Pain

2.6 goals a game over their last 40 games

:x

you can't sputter for the last two months of the season and expect to win. Pronger isn't going to help much either. it's not like the Sabers are going to blow anybody out and you need more D to stop them. fuck

on the bright side, when the season is over i'm cancelling our tv and rescribing with a different name to save a few bucks a month with the new subscriber discount. :P

The Fixer

before I read thread I just want to give my thoughts as I was at game tonight...

1 - worst playoff game ever. so boring

2 - neither team played well

3 - game was boring as fuck

4 - game came down to two things...

A) Miller let up zero rebounds, Bob let up one
0-5 on PP (incluing a two man advantage)

5 - tailgating was awesome...I wish weather was like this all year. If it didnt get hotter than today I'd be happy. Absolutely perfect

6 - Jeff Carter sucks my ass. Can't wait to watch that pussy for 10 more years.

7 - my seats were in section 117, row 11. the two rows behind me were empty the entire game. lots of empty seats tonight

Break The Sky

The two things I've been saying about this series as soon as I found out it was vs. Philly.

1. Pronger in or out of the lineup isn't going to make that big of a difference.

2. Bob is a much better goalie than most would think.

Pronger makes a huge difference. Syvret was on the ice when the sabres scored. He doesn't touch the ice if Pronger is in the lineup. Plus Pronger has a huge impact on the PP. JVR was on the point tonight. That was a contingency plan at the end of the season because the PP was terrible when pronger went down.

We'll see what happens on Saturday. Flyers need to find a way to get in Miller's face. He made it look easy tonight

MFCarissa

I know firsthand that Pronger is a huge difference maker, especially in the playoffs. Birds starting singing and angels descended from the heavens when I heard he was going to the Eastern Conference and wasn't going to be a thorn in my team's ass anymore.

Yeah, #1 above is an incredibly inaccurate statement.

neilybabes86

pronger is huge !!...even if he comes back he won't be the same

drury went thru the same thing 2 years ago..dressed and played..but his hand was useless

iam not comparing the impact of the players...just the injury

and WIP-o was his name-o. (and yeah yeah yeah you don't listen blah blah blah. even if you don't your attitude is so wip-ish it's disgusting)

did you wear your Carcillo jersey? good thing that stiff was in the lineup. of course you love him. clown

and anyone that thinks Bob is a good goalie please help me. average at best and just terrible at times. i don't see it.

fife

I found that the Flyers came out in the 1st period playing very well but in the second and third period they stop hitting and played too defensively. I expect them to come back strong on Saturday (whats with the 5 pm start time?) and dominate. i found JVR was the best player on the ice with Leino playing well also. Carter didn't do anything and Richard started well but faded later in the game.

Dude, if there's anyone on here that sounds like a robot of sports radio, it's a-you, brotha. Along with a couple others that come through here to say the least.

Flyers didn't play terrible last night. Solid effort, they just try to get too fucking fancy and pass too much.

I would argue that Pronger is the biggest difference maker in the NHL.

The Sabres also are missing their top center and 2 of their top 4 defensemen as well. I wont even count Hecht because he was awful this season.

Injuries just arent a valid excuse. The Flyers lost 1-0 and Miller really didnt have to be all that outstanding. There is more to it than just Pronger. The Flyers top to bottom are a very good team.



I have to say, going to the game last night was a great experience. They should make that a ride at Disney. I was constantly yelled at and taunted. Never threatened and nothing out of line. In fact, outside having a cigarette, someone flipped my hat like 3 inches up on my head and security came out of nowhere and booted the guy (despite my pleas). 3 different Flyers fans bought me beer. Had great hockey/sports conversations. I kept saying how enjoyable it was, and Philly has an unjust bad rap and people liked that. Good people in this city.



edit: And JVR with the #1 star? Really?

see but flipping your hat off..is laying their hands on you ..which would result in me throwing a punch at them

every arena has idiots...beer does that .....taunts are one thing,but when a drunk comes over and takes your hat off..that goes over the line...fuck him
